This reminds me... I need to get back to doubling my scoops and getting 50+ in one shot of 8-12 oz. prefer the 8oz less is better but the thick gags me. And to have to do two shakes kills me!!!

Yes, I prefer to get in as much at one time and be done with it! I've tried freezing it but didn't care for it but it might be cuz it's strawberry and it gags me anyway!

I'm doubLing the powder on my shake...i can get 52g in one 8oz shake

Your body can only process 30 grams of Protein at a time so you are wasting the other 22.

Just remember that you're body can only absorb 30 grams at a time. Unless you're splitting the shake up into 2 servings you're wasting 22 grams.

I drink the already made my Protein Shakes you can buy at Sams Club. They are 30 grams in once can and they taste like chocolate milk. Also low in sugar. I figure one for Breakfast and another around dinner would be 60 grams. And plus food if be set for my Protein for the day.

I split that into 3 servings...there's no way I could drink all that at once

Ok, great! Would hate to have you waste any Protein.... It's hard enough getting it in!! I have to try some other flavors because its getting boring!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
